The role: Director, Cloud Security Automation & Engineering

About the Role

We are hiring a Director, Cloud Security Automation and Engineering to lead the team that builds and operates the controls securing our cloud and container estate. This is a hands-on technical role: you will set multi-year strategy, own the engineering roadmap, and work with a team of security engineers and technical leads - while staying close enough to the technology to review a cluster hardening design, an admission-control policy, or a Terraform module.

Container and Kubernetes security is the anchor domain of this role and its most visible program. Our container footprint is expanding across every division of the firm, and the Director owns the strategy, tooling, and operational posture that keeps it protected. Around that anchor, the team also owns cloud security automation broadly - infrastructure-as-code guardrails, security-as-code frameworks, self-service platforms that let engineering teams do the right thing by default,



and the automation fabric that turns detections into resolved findings without human toil.

You will partner at the executive level with divisional BISOs, platform engineering leadership, DevOps, GRC, and the SOC - and lead the enterprise-wide rollout of container runtime security tooling (including the Wiz Runtime Sensor) across every division.

What You'll Do

Lead the Container and Kubernetes Security Program

- Lead the enterprise-wide deployment and lifecycle management of the Wiz Runtime Sensor across the container estate - coverage strategy, sensor rollout patterns, pe
